beard and heavy eyebrows, who has the
appearance of being fierce, but is in reality
one Of the most genial of men. As an in
dication of the business Of the country he
told me that his works were now run to
their full capacity day and night They
turn out now thirteen finished locomotives
per month. Within few years locomo-
tives have been made upon definite plans
with interchangeable parts, SO that any
piece Of the machine can be exchanged
with the same piece on any other locomo-

a great advantage. THE interchanging

''IS 1T A TRADE?'
stammered poor Caleb, anxious to
explain. II don't want" "Flfteen
hundred then, say fifteen hundred and
I'll give you check right here"
Really" gasped Caleb. ''Fll tell you
what'll do" persisted the, stranger,
''I'll give you $4,000 to turn the bargain
house. but I'm blessed if I'll give
penny over s33, 900 for it. Will you take
it? Yes or no. Quick!"
Caleb's eyes began to bulge. He real
lied that he was being offered $4,000 to
back out of his blunder. With one SUI
preme effort he refrained from falling
dead at the feet of the persistent
stranger, and with strange prOcrastina-
ton asked:
.'But why didn't you bid it off your
self?" didn't get here til after you'd
got your work in; l thought the old
duffer wouldn't begin the sale so early.
Is it trade?'' "It is" gasped Caleb,
as he saw the stranger draw out from
his wallet handful of certified checks
and select two of 81 900 each from the
gO0dly fellowship OF the greater ones.
The stranger drew fountain pen
from its case and fitted it to its holder
You see," he remarked, as he endorsed
the checks, II ike to get tnlngS Settleu
up tight and fast while am about it, so
there wont be any backing out"
And the checks were handed over to
Caleb and the trade conSumated. Caleb
had not recovered from his aston
ishment and amaZement before the
stranger had vanished. When he real
lied the full force of what had occurred
he came to very sensible conclusion,
like a sensible man. He started straight
home to tell his wife of his wonderful

came to the section house, and drank
deeply Of the abundant water.

lie had 81 left. Finally he gave one OF
these for what he could eat, and it was
considerable.
The next two days he lived in COM
having good meal each day.
The third day, however, being too in
dendent to beg, and having no money
with which to buy, he ate nothing.
After his days fast his scrupleS were
somewhat deadened, and on asking for
aid he was given the only thing at hand
"a can of tomatoes.
The next day, which was the eleventh
since being forced from the cars at
Texas Hill, was Sunday, and coming to
dairy ranch he applied to the only
person on the plach-a wOrkingman-
for something to eat. The house was
locked, and the only thing to be had
was a pan of milk, which was greedily
drank.
For days the traveller had seen be
yOIlu the desert the two Doautl1ul SHOW
capped peaks of San GOrgonia, and
they had been to him the border OF
civilization toward which he was strug-
Cling. Now they reared their proud
heights on either side, and two beautiful
brooks bounding down the mountain
side gave cheering reception to the
wayfarer. Up the steep grade he
climbed and all about him were beautiful
gardens and orange groves
On the night of the thirteenSh day,
after untold misery, the young man
landed in Los Angeles. His health was
nearly wasted, and too proud to send
home for money, his struggles were by
no means ended.
On his long trip his clothes had be-
come dirty and ragged, and his appear
ance was such that no one would have
employed him, even had his condition
permitted of hard work. At last he was
forced to leave the city to find food, and
started up the coast After long wan.
dering and many hardships, he landed
in San Francisco.
Ruined in health, but with spirit yet
uncOnquered, Gleason declared to the
reporters that he would yet find foot,
hold in the state, and with such daunt-
less spirit it cannot be doubted that,
despite his bad appearance and debili,
tation. he is yet on the royal road to 2
decent living.

The new OvercOat was thing that The
also felt he ought to have, but the rent
was an imperative demand that would
not be put off. And now the coat was
entirely out of the question, and the
savings bank account must dWlndle for
the landlords potent sake. Yes. it was
really too bad-tOO 'dern'd" bad was
not extravagantly strong, all things
considered, and Caleb knew it. He felt
that his vehemence of expression was
fully justified by the circumstances.
Because the failure of Bongs, Biggs &
BuncOmbe, though an overwhelming
calamity to him, was not his only provo
cation to this emphatic protest, for,sas
he turned from the closed doors to
which the Sheriff'S deputies held the
keys he discovered that the small roll of
money remaining over from last weeks S
wages after the modest weekly bills had
been paid had in some mysterious man
ner escaped from the snug protection of
his waistcoat pocket. Possibly the
suave and polite stranger who apollo
gized so gracefully for jOstling
him at the ferry landing could
have told what became of the
money. But this was only surmise.
The fact itself was beyond conjecture; {;
the money was gone: True, it was only
a few paltry one and two dollar bills

would have said, but its loss was more
crushing to poor Caleb, coming upon the

MIR. BOSTWICK'S LUCK.
1t is Not as Bad as 1t Might Be,
After All.
The Story Of a Steady TOiler and
Humble Clerk.

Poor Caleb was in despair. The most
persistent and relentless sort of ill-luck
had pursued this meek and exemplary
little man for so long that he had grown
quite accustomed to having things go
more or less awry with him, and he Or
dinarily accepted Fate'S small spltetAl-
ness quite as matter of course. 81
But this last misfortune seemed TOO
much for even Caleb BOStwick S adinir-
able patience and fOrbearance. r..
For a brief space he wavered between
tears and profanity over his crownlng
ill-fortune; then, at last, his manhood
asserted itself and he mildly swOre. He
said: "Well, it's too dern'd bad!'' g
1t really was too bad. For score iof
long and weary years Caleb had risen
early and wrought late for the very mod
crate stipend that he received weekly
from the great commercial house WhEeh
had just failed-failed so completely
and thoroughly that there would not be
enough left to pay 10 cents on each dol
lar of its obligations. j;
1t was terribly severe blow to Caleb.
He had grown from bOyhOOd into man
now neither young nor Old-ln the ull,
interrupted enjoyment of his one bit OF
ullfdl SOOu lOl tiiO AAeS.S
envelope every Saturday night with his
weeks wages to take home to his pa
tient little wife and his four chubby
little boys.
1t had often been hard work to keep
the wolf from breaking in at the door,
and the five pairs of small shoes from
breaking out at the toes. Yet Caleb,
despite his trials had been able to &c
whistling merrily to the ''store' OF
mornings, and his wife would chirrup q
CHEEKY song as she wiped the breakfast
dishes in the coZy kitchen that always
looked as if its face was newly washed
There had been long weeks of whOoplng
cough, mumps and measles, that had
kept the diminutive savings bank ac-
count from ever reaching three figures
however, and there was but little tC
stand between their humble happiness
| and cruel want.
And now the snow was beginning te
make its approach felt in the air. and
only that very morning the CHEEKY little
woman had said as she kissed him good.
bye for the day: "You good little pappy

property, and feeling of horror came
over him as he felt that he must pUb-
licly .disayow his intention and explain
that he had only wanted to arrest the
attention of well dressed gentleman,
whom he suspected of being thief. He
stammered out: 'My name is BOSt-
wick!" and as the crowd parted to en-
able him to advance he felt that it
would be merciful dispensatiOn to be
permitted to sink through the earth to
even China. Clutching his bank book
more firmly he sought to make whis-
pered explanation to the auctiOneer,
who stood in bland and smiling eXpecta-
ton. At this critical moment, hand
on his shOulder-the bank book shOul-
der-caused him to turn and face the
intruder who hindered the elimination
of his days misery. Zone moment Mr..
Bostwick," said voice in his ear,
..don't settle yet, if you please.
Will you take thousand
